Was originally scheduled for Thursday

Just noticed that Tourigny was an assistant on the Canada team that Hayton captained. Hopefully he can get him to his next level too.

Im really excited for this press conference and to hear Tourigny’s approach and philosophy. I need to go and dig up tocchet’s intro press conference so I can compare the two. That’ll be what keeps me from working tomorrow lol

This would really help bridge the 2014-2016 draft teenagers to the 2018-2019 draft tykes to the 2021 and later babies.

Have fun with the Tocchet presser. I pulled it up a few days ago. Full of mumbling and marble mouth from Day 1. Whole thing just looked amateur hour with Tocchet, Chayka, Cohen, and Barroway.

Then again, Bill Zito’s was an absolute disaster and BA’s was a freaking home run. Which one was a GM of the year finalist again? Haha.

Not sure if Tourigny coached the forwards or D or PP or PK or what though. Maybe a good question for Morgan to ask.

 

[Heldig]

@rt thanks for all the research you did on the coaches.

 

[XX]

It will be nice to not have to worry about the basics again.

 

[zerekstar]

Hopefully we get some swagger in the system from this

 

[Mosby]

One of his biggest tasks will be getting Hayton back on track.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Just added "Tourigny" to my custom dictionary. Looks like a solid selection. I like that he's a proven winner. Don't care that he never played in the NHL.

 

[Jakey53]

Looks like Hank from Breaking Bad

 

[Baby Doaner]

Finally!

 

[Mangosteen]

Will it be online? Still in quarantine for 6 more days so I have the time lol

 

[RemoAZ]

Hopefully before the presser is over someone asks Bill about Garland to squash all that dumb ass speculation.

I rewatched that video of him catching the puck and he's standing behind the defence. If that's anything to go off of haha

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Well, the time to get optimistic is upon us… again. Wish him all the best, not convinced he’s “the one”, but he looks to be ours.
Thanks for putting a lot of info together in one place rt.

After reading up on him over the last 48 hours I’m ecstatic about this hire. Perfect fit IMO

Good work by Craig here. He had Tourigny's name in the mix like a month before anyone else.
